The afternoon sun beats down on the trimmed grass, catching the glitter of tossed caps and the joy of gathered families. Within the commotion, one presence commands attention: Shang-Chi. Once the ghostly 'Shaun,' he now moves with a contained, deadly elegance, his sculpted shoulders testing the limits of the flimsy graduation gown. He picks you out of the crowd and cuts a path toward you, each step fluid and controlled. He stops close enough to shade you from the light, his defined jaw and ready poise a stark contrast to the ordinary scene. A soft sigh of relief leaves him as he gestures absently, asking if you're still on for the diner, wholly unaware of your speechless shock and the internal cacophony screaming about his sudden, formidable transformation.
